亚科内的Lampridae分类,并在Luciolinae的属类进行了审查,因为是困难,往往存在准确的物种测定,因为属Luciola LaPorte的定义不充分。Luciolinae属的检索表反映了当前的系统发育趋势,并包括Luciola(Photuroluciola)(Pic)的第一个形态细节。Pygoluciola Wittmer的扩展通用定义包括其地理范围的扩展。本文描述了青鱼红腹蛛Pygoluciola qingyu sp. nov.的形态特征,包括雄虫、雌虫(囊结构)和幼虫的形态特征,并首次报道了中国大陆同步闪光的记录。行为,包括捕食活动的幼虫大颚蚂蚁,在一个明显的危险的正面攻击,半水生模式的生活和发光的活动,包括同步闪光的描述和讨论。本文描述并命名了一种东方绿蝇的选择型雄蝇。
Subfamily classification within the Lampyridae, and generic categories in the Luciolinae are reviewed, as are the difficulties that often exist with accurate species determinations because of inadequate definition of the genus Luciola LaPorte. A key to genera of the Luciolinae reflects current phylogenetic trends and includes the first morphological details of Luciola (Photuroluciola) (Pic). An expanded generic definition of Pygoluciola Wittmer includes an extension of its geographic range. Pygoluciola qingyu sp. nov. is described including morphology of males, females (bursa structure) and larvae, and the first record of synchronous flashing from mainland China. Behaviour including predacious activity by larvae on large mandibulate ants, in an apparently hazardous frontal attack, the semiaquatic mode of life and luminous activity including synchronous flashing is described and discussed. A lectotype male of Luciola cerata Olivier is designated and described.
